Chapter 245 Uchiha Fugaku

"In addition to the four of you, Minato, I will also participate in this joint operation."

"No."

The meeting continued, and Jiraiya did not hesitate, and immediately expressed that he would also participate in this operation.

But his decision was blocked by the Third Hokage.

"Old man, give me a reason."

Jiraiya looked at the Third Hokage with a calm face.

He also knew that the old man was doing it for his own good.

After all, this operation was also somewhat dangerous.

With the use of manpower, he, as the current Hokage, really shouldn't take risks.

But for the sake of his former disciples, he also wanted to make a final effort.

At the very least, he had to get the body cells of Nagato and Konan to prepare for future resurrection.

"You are the Hokage now, your duty is to stay in the rear, formulate strategies for the development of the village, and ensure the safety of the village, instead of charging into battle like in the past."

Sure enough, the Third Hokage's words were similar to what Jiraiya thought, all for his safety.

"Don't worry, old man. Nagato is my disciple after all. And even if I can't beat him, can't I run away?"

Jiraiya's words were well-reasoned, and the Third Hokage didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

After learning about the information of five of the Six Paths of Pain's puppets, Jiraiya wanted to run away, but Nagato couldn't catch him.

In the original work, after Jiraiya broke his arm, if he wanted to run away, Pain couldn't stop him in Sage Mode.

But he felt that Konoha would sooner or later face Pain, and if he didn't know all of Pain's abilities, Konoha would probably suffer in the future.

So he didn't run away, but continued to fight Pain, hoping to get more information, and then he died at the hands of the Six Paths of Pain.

The Fifth Jiraiya in the present world didn't know these things, but with the information of the Five Paths puppets, he felt that if he wanted to run away, Nagato would definitely not be able to stop him.

"Okay, I can't convince you. At worst, I'll wait for you to die, and then I'll let Orochimaru work overtime to revive you."

". Don't revive if you can."

There's no need to talk about the pain of death. We're all ninjas, and those who understand will understand.

Just talking about the money it costs to revive, that's a lot.

Some time ago, he talked about this topic with Orochimaru, and by the way, he also checked the account book in Orochimaru's laboratory.

You don't know until you see it, you'll be shocked. At that time, Jiraiya knew that cloning a proper clone would cost so much money.

No wonder Orochimaru wanted him to increase the funds from time to time. He thought Orochimaru was pocketing it, but he didn't expect that he was dedicated to the public and spent all the money on experiments.

Looking at the long string of zeros in the account book, Jiraiya felt so distressed.

You don't know how expensive oil and rice are until you manage the household.

Money was needed to develop the village.

Jiraiya made a decision immediately.

Fugaku, Mikoto and others are the last group of people who are resurrected for free.

In the future, no matter who wants to be resurrected, they will have to pay.

After all, the landlord has no surplus food.

"Okay, since no one objects, then this matter is settled."

"Hokage, do you want to act with us?"

"Act together? No, I will just go to the Hidden Rain Village to talk to Nagato secretly. If we can't reach an agreement, I will come back."

"I see."

Asuma sat down, indicating that he had no problem.

Kakashi suddenly stood up and said, "Do you want to let Sasuke and his family participate in this operation?"

Three days ago, Orochimaru resurrected Sasuke's parents, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto as agreed.

In the crusade against the Akatsuki organization, they, the Konoha side, will most likely encounter Uchiha Itachi.

Facing this dangerous person with mixed reputations, Kakashi felt that it would be better to let the Uchiha solve it themselves.

"Fugaku? Okay, after the meeting, you go to the Uchiha and ask for their opinions."

"Okay, Hokage."

After the main characters were determined, the meeting went very smoothly.

As soon as the meeting ended, Kakashi ran to the Uchiha mansion and found Uchiha Fugaku basking in the sun in the yard.

"Chief Fugaku."

"Oh, it's Kakashi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After Fugaku was resurrected, his personality also changed a little.

He was no longer as serious and boring as before, but became calm and lazy.

He would stay in his own yard to bask in the sun whenever he had nothing to do, and he didn't ask about any decisions of the village, and he was completely flat.

"Hokage asked me to ask, will Chief Fugaku and Sasuke participate in this crusade against the Akatsuki organization?"

Kakashi didn't ask Uchiha Mikoto, not because Kakashi didn't respect her, but because her strength was not enough, and she would be a burden if she went.

Sasuke is actually a burden, but who calls him the "second male lead", plus he is obsessed with Itachi, if he is not called, he will definitely be annoyed in the future.

"I will definitely participate, but about the issue of Itachi."

Itachi is his son after all, if possible, Fugaku does not want Itachi to die like this.

"You need to talk to the Hokage in person about this."

".Okay, I will go to the Hokage tonight."

After getting Fugaku's reply, Kakashi left, quickly returned to the Hokage Building, and reported the situation to Jiraiya.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi."

"It's okay, if the Hokage is fine, then I will leave first."

"Well, you go first."

At night, Uchiha Fugaku brought Uchiha Sasuke to Jiraiya's house.

The two sides had a discussion on how to deal with Itachi.

In the end, after a long struggle, Jiraiya agreed to keep Uchiha Itachi's life.

At the same time, the village will mobilize public opinion to whitewash what Itachi did in the past, so that he can return with the undercover clones planted outside by the village.

And what Fugaku and others paid was just to ensure that Itachi would not make trouble in the future, and a lot of money.

The Uchiha clan left a lot of inheritance.

A small part of it was confiscated by the third generation old man under various names when Sasuke was still young and used to develop the village.

The vast majority of the remaining wealth is in Sasuke's hands.

Originally, the third generation old man had a good idea.

The Uchiha family had such a large inheritance, and each family in the village had ideas about it.

When Sasuke couldn't keep it, he could come forward and let Sasuke entrust them to manage it in the name of the village.

Giving Sasuke a sum of money every month can get rid of him well.

In this way, the third generation old man's eating appearance will not be so ugly, and Sasuke can also get a lot of money every month.

It's simply a win-win situation.

But I didn't expect that plans can't keep up with changes.

Whether in the original work or in the present world, Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha made the Third Generation's plan come to naught.

So, although the current Uchiha is just an empty shell, it is very rich.
